ISP Sky Broadband UK Drops 59Mbps Fibre and Phone to £25

UK ISP Sky Broadband (Comcast) has today discounted the price of their “Superfast Fibre” (FTTC at average download speeds of 59Mbps) package by -£2 to make it £25 per month for the first 18 months of service (£32 thereafter). On top of that they’ve also removed the setup fee (usually between £9.95 to £19.95).

As usual new customers will receive unlimited usage, a wireless broadband router, Sky Talk line rental (standard call rates), access to WiFi hotspots from The Cloud, Sky Shield (Parental Controls and Anti-Malware), Sky Talk Shield (nuisance call blocking), Speed Guarantee (i.e. if performance drops below the Guaranteed Minimum Download Speed within the first 30 days of your service, they will give you your money back) and email.

Customers can optionally add the £5 Sky Broadband “Boost” add-on, which among other things will help you to get WiFi in every room (or your money back). On top of that the boost also runs daily health checks on your line, gives you more internet filtering controls for family access to the internet (Sky Buddy) and includes an extra 2GB of data for Sky Mobile (if you have that).
